  Are We Asking the Wrong Questions?

  Jul 31, 202639 min

  Sometimes the biggest problem isn't the answer. It's the question. This week we're looking beyond the headlines to ask what really matters. We'll talk about: Why the debate over AI may be missing the bigger issue. What a North Carolina HOA assessment teaches us about homeownership and financial responsibility. The continuing battle over private listings, consumer access, and who really benefits. Whether housing affordability conversations are focused on symptoms instead of causes. When we ask better questions, we make better decisions.
